Suggestion for next debate: the moderator should have the ability (a) to cut off Trump's mike (b) drop a plexiglass Cone of Silence on him if he still won't shut up. — PolitiTweet.org

So the parts of the economy over which Trump should have had some influence have not gone at all in the direction he promised. Not morally comparable to his attacks on truth, justice, and the American way, but also indicative of a man who has no business running the country 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

But it may be worth pointing out that Trump's signature policy and biggest claim — that he brought manufacturing back with his trade wars — is false. Manufacturing trade deficit (nonag/nonoil, which is a good proxy) has gone up 2/ https://t.co/3oKJvZuiL0 — PolitiTweet.org

Economic policy was really a secondary issue, if that, last night. Fwiw, viewers apparently saw even that as more or less a draw, while dunking on Trump over everything else 1/ https://t.co/X9QOLlM4yA — PolitiTweet.org

Remember: coming into this, Biden supporters said Trump is a lying ignorant bully, who supports white supremacists. He confirmed their story. Trump supporters said Biden is senile and suffering from dementia. He clearly isn't. Everything else is peripheral. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is the Rust Belt looking like Biden country? Partly because Trump's promise of a manufacturing revival never happened. Take out the temporary slump in 2015-16 due to a crash in fracking, and we were going nowhere even pre-pandemic 2/ https://t.co/FO3pYrAqoF — PolitiTweet.org

But it’s Trump’s huge unpayable debt that’s the real killer. It’s not just a question of who he owes the money to. It’s the incentives: if he loses office, he faces personal ruin. And he won’t even give lip service to the idea of losing peacefully 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
